Sunan Abu Da'ud (Arabic: سُنن أبو داوود‎) is one of the Sunni Six Major Hadith collections , collected by Abu Da'ud.

Collection Abu Da'ud declared some of Hadiths in his book to be unauthentic, which makes his book different from Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. The author collected 50,000 hadith, but included only 4,800 in this collection.

[Sunni] regard this collection as fourth in strength of their Six major Hadith collections.[1]
